The controversy which
follows is one which this ministry believes highlights the state or condition
of the professing Christian Church in our generation. Jesus, speaking
of end time signs, stated it succinctly:

And many false prophets shall
rise and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love
of many shall wax cold.

This group of professing Christians cunningly propagate false doctrine and a false Christ
by means of appealing to Godís alleged universal love for all mankind,
Christís universal atonement. They do this in the name of their beloved
departed false prophet and teacher, Ray Stedman.

Like all tares planted
in the Lordís wheat fields, their members simulate a kind of Christian
ethos. To the naÔve and ignorant they easily pass as genuine Christians.
Based in Silicon Valley, they represent the Ďeliteí in Christianity whose words
are wise, whose advice should be heeded.

The reader will note
the progression of tone on the part of the gentle, soft-spoken, loving
Paracletes. Their unabashed pride, conceit and hypocrisy soon become apparent
with a minimum of provocation.

The noun, Paraclete,
is the English adaptation of the Greek and Latin terms for the Holy
Spirit, meaning intercessor, comforter.

May the reader discern
the wiles of the enemy who uses Christian names, terms and biblical expressions
to deceive, corrupt and lead the unwary into blasphemous error.
